Heartland

Here’s my two penn’orth. I suspect @Pista will disagree strongly! https://gothpostpunkrevival.blogspot.c ... sight.html

I remember this topic coming up before, probably well over a decade ago though! My worst gigs were both at Rock City in Nottingham, Iggy Pop in 1981 and Christian Death at one of RC’s “Longest Day” Alternative All-Nighters. Iggy was not in a good place and flounced off when someone threw a plastic g...

Apologies for thread necro, and many will probably know this already, but I was today years old when I first became aware of this possible derivation for the most infamous lyric on Gift: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Five-Zero-Zero

How ironic that TSOM have unwittingly written a song that steals a riff from a band whose entire sound and song structures were based on them in the first place. This confirms my theory that Miazma were by far the best pastiche of The Sisters, but conspiracy theorists may note that the project seem...

Agree entirely on all counts - very much in Miserylab style, all quite samey, but also very decent at the same time. I particularly like the last track on the album “Change”, which has a Suicide-style beat and reminds me of TSOM’s “Train”. If you like this kind of thing, Deathtrippers have a new rel...

AE will be delighted to see that FALAA is not considered “goth enough” on the (NSFW) video on this recent club classic from Florida artist Last Grasp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSlk_pJPYac

100 pledgers already, an impressive start for a book about an album that doesn’t exist!

Fantastic news, from the title I’m assuming it brings the story right up to date rather than being the second of the five volumes you had planned at one stage!

I’m in, sorry for the delay. IGM for the win!

As Gary is laying claim to the second verse of the Heartland lyrics, and given that the opening lines of both songs are the same, surely this proves that it is an Eldritch lyric. I covered this issue in a blog post about the song a few years back: " The song Heartland credits Eldritch and Marx ...

Thanks for this. AE has gone up in my estimation as we both have a loathing of tedious musos Steely Dan!

... The Sisters played one of the last gigs of the Ben Gunn era, and the only one for which Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were also on the bill. Read all about it on my TSOM archive blog:

Thanks QB and Mr Marx, great to have some new tunes in the pipeline, and in particular to hear about their provenance. Looking forward to the full set but this will do nicely for now!

The lead singer on this none-more-g*** track seems to be sporting an Overbombing t-shirt. I expect that his 'cease-and-desist' letter will be in the post by the end of the week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-pUrTMyY0Q

Me too Dave, me too...

For those who enjoyed Trevor and Mark's recent books on the 1980-1985 era, just to let you know that I have restarted more blog posts about individual gigs and events of that time in the band's history. New for this weekend is a post about the gigs in Sussex in 1982 and 1983 (Brighton and Hastings r...

Arigato Nikolas for still doing Your Blog. I suppose much was said with recent books but You still find some gaps to fill. Thank you! I took a break for the blog whilst awaiting publication of the excellent biographies by Trevor and Mark, but am back to researching the trainspotter detail of old re...

The new EP from Mark E Moon is excellent.

... TSOM were originally due to have shared a stage with both The Birthday Party and Southern Death Cult (a non-event covered on the latest post on my TSOM blog https://sistersfan.blogspot.com/2022/04/goth-heaven-nick-cave-ian-astbury-and.html . This got me thinking - what has been the best line-up ...

An interesting read, thanks for sharing. I love the fact that the interviewer, on hearing Von claim that The Sisters are "The Best New Band In Belgium", almost immediately asks if he's heard of Whispering Sons! Until he releases studio versions of some of the new songs, I would also have G...

There's a listening party tomorrow night https://blackangelmusic.bandcamp.com/me ... ning-party. Looking forward to my CD copy arriving next month.

Hope you had a great day, sorry this is late!

Seems they've been around a while but oh boy the new single is stupidly good

Certainly catchy with that bass riff at the beginning having a familiar tone! Overall it's like a grunge Throwing Muses.

For the past few years I've been writing a (second) blog devoted to new music, but as it's mainly goth/post-punk it probably won't be of interest to TSOM fans ( - not entirely a tongue-in-cheek comment, as I know many here have very broad taste).

Fantastic Prologue, amazing new fact in the first line, the first of many. Would love to see a photo of that unusual coffee table! I'd never realised before today that the other member of Craig's short-lived post-Expelaires pre-Sisters project was the same guy who DJed at Le Phono in the early 80's ...
